متن کاملEngraftment and survival after unrelated-donor bone marrow transplantation: a report from the national marrow donor program.
We analyzed engraftment of unrelated-donor (URD) bone marrow in 5246 patients who received transplants facilitated by the National Marrow Donor Program between August 1991 and June 1999. Among patients surviving at least 28 days, 4% had primary graft failure (failure to achieve an absolute neutrophil count > 5 x 10(8)/L before death or second stem-cell infusion). Multivariate logistic regressio...
